How can I validate an email address using VBscript? [Print this FAQ]
Answer:
Thanks to Anders Rask for porting the validation code to VBscript! Using regular expressions, you can validate an email address using the following code:
<% Dim emailAddress emailAddress = Request("emailAddress") if emailAddress <> "" then emailAddress = Cstr(emailAddress) if emailAddress <> "" then blnValidEmail = RegExpTest(emailAddress) if blnValidEmail then Response.Write("Valid email address") else Response.Write("Not a valid email address") end if end if
Function RegExpTest(sEmail) RegExpTest = false Dim regEx, retVal Set regEx = New RegExp
